Speakeasy Advocacy - Volunteers

	Volunteers Anyone can be a volunteer – all you need is to be able to act appropriately, have some common sense and a few spare hours a month.
Some of the things that volunteers can do at Speakeasy Advocacy:
	Act as a 1:1 advocate for someone with a learning disability or autism, supporting them to speak up and make their own decisions
	Support one of the self advocacy groups to develop their skills, make their own choices, and find out about their local community
	Support the Saturday coffee mornings
	Act as a 1:1 advocate for children and young people with autism (and their parents) by working alongside them so that they are listened to
	Support young people aged 11-16 with Asperger’s syndrome at the “Internet Explorers” group
	Work in our office doing things like administration, sorting out the library and cleaning
	Support trustees on issues like fund raising and publicity
	We give you full training so you can carry out your role with confidence
	We pay expenses so you are not out of pocket
